Wirtz Center’s ‘Imagine U Storytime’ Takes Hiatus
Northwestern theater students, faculty and alumni shared weekly stories for young audiences online. More than 49 weekly episodes have been produced and more than 90 students and other artists were involved.
“It has been remarkable to see what our students have created to delight young audiences,” said Lynn Kelso, Imagine U founder and creative mentor. “We are very excited to return to continue to share these artistic gifts with our families in these challenging times.”
